RWJ and Local Consortium to Address Nursing Shortage: Public Health Nursing Targeted for Improvement
"The Faye McBeath Foundation, leading a consortium of over a dozen funding, nursing and public health partners, has been selected for funding in the second round of Partners Investing in Nursing’s Future, (PIN). PIN is a national initiative to develop and test local solutions to end America’s nursing shortage.
The Faye McBeath Foundation and the Wisconsin Center for Nursing (WCN) have successfully received this grant from the Robert Wood Johnston Foundation titled "Raising the Bar". The grant, initiating in the fall of 2007, focuses on public health nursing. It involves 4-5 academic institutions and 4-5 public health/community health agencies. The grant includes a redesigned BSN level curriculum for community/public health nursing, senior student trainee-ships and a 1 year job placement for 15-25 senior student nurses.
Faye McBeath Foundation has supported WCN since its formation as a coalition of employers, academic institutions and nurses."
